"It was a bit of excitement, which has got out of hand," he said.

"Of course [I regret it]. I wasn't trading insults or anything like that

"It was a harmless bit of fun, but it has obviously not turned out like I wanted it to or thought it would.

"I had no intention of making anyone angry. I wouldn't do that kind of thing again."

Hughes, who has confirmed he will not be prosecuted, also expressed his gratitude at Carragher's emotional TV apology.

"When I saw his apology, me and my wife were sat together, and we both thought he was very contrite and genuine. It wasn't an act to make himself look better. He was genuinely sorry and I appreciated it," he added.

"Everyone is human and makes mistakes and that is why I desperately don't want him to lose his job. I actually enjoy listening to him on the TV."
